Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen 65cm (MUSA), f//f/h
I measured the Stack and Reach. I had to look how how to do it. This is how I did it to make sure on same page. For Stack, I measured from floor to top of center of headtube. Then measured from floor to center of bottom bracket. I then subtracted these two numbers. For Reach, with bike against a wall, I measured from center of top of headtube to the rear of the frame to the wall. I then measured from the center of bottom bracket to the rear of the wall. I subtracted these measurements. I used a level to make sure the proper length because the top tube has a little but of slope. For stack, I measured 26.25 inches or 66.75 cm. For reach I measured 14.5 inches or 36.83 cm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen 65cm (MUSA), f//f/h
Hmm... lovely frame and I’m very tempted by the possibility of a tall bike with a short top tube, yet a relaxed seat tube angle, as most Rivs are. However, some conflicting info here about the bikes geometry, so an accurate / actual geometry chart would be helpful. To whit, the 58 cm top tube seems a bit short for a 65 cm seat tube. Was the ST measured center to top of lug?.. was the top tube measured without going from the centerline of the seat tube to the centerline of the head tube?.. Better yet, stack and reach numbers could really help with determining fit possibilities. - Max “need another bike like a dog needs a fifth leg, but...” in A2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Matt, You stated that it has slightly different measurements than some of the geometry stated on Riv’s charts.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen 65cm (MUSA), f//f/h
I have a 67. The MUSA Homer is, for me, a bike that hits the sweet spot. Takes bigger tires and is better on unpaved surfaces than the old Ram, and is a better unloaded road bike than the MUSA Atlantis. It's a great bike -- hopefully there's a tall person out there who will commit and enjoy it -- I think $1500 is a fair price.

I had this exact model and size of frame, and can attest to it riding beautifully! Mine sold for a bit less than this, so maybe the buyer got a deal, but either way it's a lovely frame.

Joe. It is raining at my place, but will get some better pics in the sunlight. May need that if it heads to EBay. Thanks for the feedback everyone. It has a little bit of a shorter top tube, so not as long in the drops than the standard Riv geometry. I bought it from Rivendell and has about 600 miles on it, so practically almost new.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen 65cm (MUSA), f//f/h
I stand corrected. Thanks Christian! :) For added context I prefer to ride a bike with as little stand over clearance as possible, sometimes negative clearance.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen 65cm (MUSA), f//f/h
John G wrote “ PBH, or saddle height?” Thanks for the clarifying question. This bike should fit someone with an 87-90 PBH. I say this estimate based on experience and knowledge of the fit for Rivendell bikes on this era. I’m sure there is a geometry chart someplace as well. A person outside of that size range may find a way to fit it and enjoy the ride as well. IIRC The AHH was made as large as a (rare) 72cm frame. So this big bike isn’t even the biggest. That said, other factors influence fit, shoe choice, flexibility, aesthetics, etc. just to name a variety. This particular bike is about 10cm too big for me, ha!, but there might be some tall folks who want a nice riding road bike with room for big tires and classic looks.
